    Overview

    Package setup

    Start with the purpose, then build one package at a time.

    Use local labels such as Current job, Offer A, or Offer B. The label never needs to contain an employer name.

    Expected cash
    $0
    Employer benefits
    $0
    Selected costs
    $0
    Estimated value after costs
    $0
    Do not use the headline total by itself. The receipt separates guaranteed cash, variable pay, employer contributions, employee costs, unvested retirement value, estimates, and qualitative benefits.
    How the workspace thinks

    A structured decision model—not one inflated total.

    Cash compensation separates base pay, realistic overtime, differentials, bonuses, and other entered cash.

    Health-plan scenarios combine payroll premiums, selected cost-sharing assumptions, out-of-pocket limits, and employer HSA or HRA funding. Network and prescription verification remain separate.

    Retirement value distinguishes employee contributions, estimated employer matching, non-elective contributions, uncaptured matching, and unvested employer value.

    Paid leave and hidden benefits receive a dollar estimate only when reasonable. Protection, family, schedule, and career benefits can remain qualitative.

    Comparison mode reports differences and uncertainty instead of declaring a universal winner.
